Not sure what to say?

Julie! I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a great lady. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope things are going well even with the loss of your mom.

Carla was a beautiful lady inside and out. I worked with Carla at Ricks College/BYUI and enjoyed her so much. You were so blessed to have her as your Mother. May you find peace and love in the memories you have of her.

Carla was always so beautiful and a beloved member of our extended family. I will be praying for all of you who are her children and grandchildren as I know how much you will miss her. What a wonderful reunion she must be having with Blayne after all these long years without him! I'm so sorry I can't be at her funeral.
With love, Elaine Johnson Hansen

My Symphany to all the family. Carla was always kind and friendly, I always enjoyed visiting with her. Such a talented and loving person.

Carla was a dear, dear friend! We met when she moved to Rigby and became friends immediately. We served together as visiting teachers/ministers for years and loved being together and with our Sisters. She was so talented and had such a positive outlook on life. She will be dearly missed by so many friends.
